Faces of the week (July 3 - July 9)

In a move that drew sharp criticism from the medical fraternity and sparked a strike by doctors at the hospital, AIIMS sacked its director P. Venugopal. The Delhi High Court later stayed the sacking. Venugopal extended the saga further by issuing a show-cause notice to the Registrar of the institute, seeking an explanation on an order for release of salaries to doctors for the strike period.
